Gary Cully hopes that Katie Taylor's homecoming event this weekend is only the start of big time boxing returning to Dublin - and he wants to be the fighter headlining shows in the capital over the coming years.
The Kildare lightweight will aim to take his professional record to 17-0 on Saturday's card at the 3Arena, which is headlined by Taylor's super-lightweight bout with Chantelle Cameron, and says he is like "a kid at Christmas" now that the event is just days away.
Cully, who is trained by the Bray Bomber's father Pete, faces experienced Mexican Jose Felix (39-6-1) as he looks to take another step towards a world title shot and he hopes it's not too long until he is headlining his own show on Irish soil.
